I stole James

Chapter 213 Seems to be Going Crazy Again

As a team that has just completed a big deal and needs team break-in, the Nets played a good performance in the first quarter, and they were evenly matched with the Cavaliers.

After the first quarter, the Cavaliers only led the Nets by 1 point.

Before coming back in the second quarter, James grabbed Paul and said he wanted him to play harder in front of Kidd.In the first quarter, Kidd used his experience to bully Paul. After all, one is a rookie and the other is a long-established legendary point guard. Paul was still a little impatient when he faced Kidd.

Paul nodded, and then the two exchanged about the cooperation between them.

After chatting with Paul for a few words, James chatted with Tony Allen again, because Allen's defender is Carter, and Carter is not an easy opponent to deal with.In the first quarter, Carter used his body, experience, and bounce to beat Tony Allen a few times.

Tony Allen's importance in the Cavaliers' defensive system is gradually increasing. Many times the opponent's scoring arrows need him to contain, so James and him communicate quite a lot.

Among the four rookies of the Cavaliers, Paul, Tony Allen, Ariza and Varejao, Paul and Tony Allen are the fastest growing, because they are in the team's starting lineup and get a lot of money. Playing time, and James' communication and guidance at any time, naturally grows faster.

After the two of them, Varejao's growth is also good. He serves as a substitute for Big Z in the interior and gets a lot of playing time, and his defense is better than Big Z or he plays more actively and passionately. So occasionally he can get a starting opportunity or two.

The one with the slowest growth is Trevor Ariza. He serves as a substitute for James. With James' strong physical fitness and the Cavaliers' current reliance on James, although James' playing time will not be as full as he was at the end of last season. field, but the minutes left for Ariza's substitute are still not much, and sometimes Ariza even has to earn some playing time in the backup position of shooting guard.

But Ariza didn't complain about this. After all, he is a second-round player with a very low draft pick. He can get good playing time in the first season of his career (this is good, compared to the Many other second-round picks can’t even get playing time.), he is quite satisfied, and James has always been nice to him, and often pulls him to train together, and he can feel that he is steadily improving.

……

As soon as the second quarter came up, James took the ball from the outside and faced Jefferson. Speaking of which, Jefferson was still James' guard with a knife in his previous life. This is quite a fate. James decided to give this fate a three-pointer The ball, the basketball passed Jefferson's outstretched fingertips and fell steadily into the net.

Looking back, Kidd took the ball to the outside, and seeing Paul let go of him, he also wanted to return the Cavaliers with a three-pointer, but it was just a bang.

Kidd's three-pointer is still a bit unreliable.

Randolph grabbed the backcourt rebound and handed it to James, who roared forward with the ball.

Carter chased after him, also running fast.

Can Carter defend James' fast break?At the scene, a young Nets fan covered his nose with his hands and watched nervously.

But James was obviously going to let him down. James quickly dribbled the ball to the basket. After taking off, he felt a defensive player attacking behind him. In the process of falling, he changed hands and sent the basketball into the basket.

After hitting the ball, James braked a bit unstable after landing, and rushed into the audience at the bottom line.

Although the fans at the scene booed James when he came on the field, when he rushed to the audience, they all reached out to shake hands with him, um, it's so sweet.

James bent down and reached out to pat the outstretched palm before returning to the court.

At this time, the Cavaliers led the Nets by 6 points.

Nets coach Lawrence Frank called for a timeout to rearrange the defensive strategy on the court.

But pausing back still doesn't seem to work very well.

Back on the court, Kidd hit the ground and passed the ball to Jefferson, who missed a jumper under James' defense.

James broke through the inside again. After encountering a double-team, he passed the basketball to Tony Allen on the outside and assisted him to make a three-pointer.

Looking back, Carter succeeded in dunking, but James made a three-pointer against Jefferson's defense. Jefferson's defense was really weak in front of James.

The difference between the two sides was opened to 10 points for the first time.

But Kidd stood up at this time, and after advancing with the ball, he quickly gave the ball to Clifford Robinson who slipped from the baseline to the basket, assisted him to score a layup, and stabilized his position.

Looking back, it was still Kidd. He made a contribution on the defensive end, stealing Paul, and then immediately sent the ball to the frontcourt, passing the ball across the court, to Carter who was rushing towards the Cavaliers basket. Carter took off and flew in the air. Received the pass, gliding and dunking with a one-handed windmill.

This time the Nets' counterattack was really wonderful, the fans at home exploded all of a sudden, and the cheers reached the highest point, although the Nets were still behind at this time.

But Kidd's steals and passes, Carter's violent and beautiful dunks are really beautiful.

This ball will undoubtedly become one of the five best balls of the day.

The morale of the Nets was also boosted by this goal, and they played more actively on the court.

Sometimes this is the case. An offense and defense on the court can become a catalyst that affects the overall morale of the team. A wonderful cooperation can ignite the team, and continuous non-scoring can make the team's morale low.

After the morale improved, the Nets scored one after another, and the two teams entered a stalemate.

This situation lasted until the last 2 minutes of the second quarter before it was broken.

James took the ball and charged Jefferson from beyond the three-point line. After passing Jefferson with one step, four people from the Nets under the basket attacked him, but he didn't pass the ball this time. He hit four and jumped in the air. , Hit the board and send the basketball into the basket.

Looking back, when the Nets were attacking, Jefferson made a strong layup. James sent a nail plate cap, took the basketball down, and rushed to the frontcourt. Jefferson chased and defended but not yet At the time, he had already made a two-step emergency stop outside the three-point line, and then pulled up to shoot a three-pointer.

Jefferson only had time to watch the basketball spin in the air and head for the hoop.

With a swipe, the basketball was thrown into the net firmly.

James shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, as if he was going crazy again today.
